Digital Skills for Plumbing & Construction Students | UK Apprentices

One wrong number can stop an entire construction job. In this episode of The Copper Connection Podcast, plumbing tutor and trade mentor Chris Bailey explains the data principles every UK plumbing and construction apprentice needs to know.

If you’re a plumbing student, construction apprentice, tutor, or employer supporting learners through Level 2 or Level 3 qualifications, this video will help you understand how data, BIM and digital tools are changing the modern site.

Join Chris Bailey from The Copper Connection Podcast as he discusses the importance of data in construction and how it impacts successful project management. This episode highlights how understanding data contributes to effective project planning and robust risk management throughout the entire project lifecycle. We also explore how processing information and implementing strict cost control measures are essential for protecting projects through all their stages. 🎙️
You’ll learn:

The difference between data and information in real site situations
Why accuracy in measurements, specs and orders is critical
How BIM (Building Information Modelling) supports planning, design, build and operation
The role of surveying kit, 3D cameras, drones and ICT in today’s construction projects
How good data, collaboration and digital skills can boost your employability in the trades
